Done some time ago, these character designs were 'spec' work for two different productions. The top one is an 'aussie santa' and the one below an immigrant janitor.

It's looking like both projects fell through, which means I can show them. Something to do with the GFC bogey man I suspect.. And perhaps setting Santa in the Australian summer time was too cruel a concept to contemplate anyway!

Away, but not idle... not that there is anything wrong with
idleness. Please remember to stop and smell the roses fellow creatives!

My recent house move is over, but things are still not
set up. Nevertheless I've been enjoying working only with the simplest
of tools, namely a pen and sketchbook.

Getting stuck on drawing a hand pose recently I thought I'd delve a little deeper into the problem. Study and visual research can be tedious, and stifling to the creative urge I find. But since I was doing it, I thought I'd do it 'good'.

You
may notice I went to the trouble of studying fingers in and of
themselves. It became apparent that my inability to draw the given hand
posture was actually a problem with drawing fingers. This would make
sense given they are 50% of our hands!
